New website on the way...
|
|
This summer has been very busy at the Academies as we have been developing and preparing to launch a new school website.
You will be amazed at the new site with its ease of navigation; new communication vehicles for alumni/ae and parents to get information pertinent to them through a "My Academy" page; and more effective ways of communication. The look and feel of the new website better positions The Albany Academies -- Albany Academy for Girls & The Albany Academy -- for a third century of greatness. We hope you will agree.
More information will be forthcoming in the coming weeks about the specific launch date, tentatively scheduled for the end of this month. Watch your mail and email for more details! |
